Essentials
From the starting area, head north up the v-shaped staircase and follow the hallway until you reach an oval-shaped room with a door on the north side. Go through the door and grab the red key atop the staircase at the end of the room. Return to the hallway and continue east, heading south when the hallway dead ends. Enter the large room at the end of the hallway and head through the red key door to the south east. Climb the stairs and hit the switch at the end of the room. Return to the large room and head west into the now open exit room and press the exit switch.

Other points of interest
There is a room dead south of the main hallway that is not necessary to enter for progression but contains a green armor, some armor bonuses and four shotgun shells.
